Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .
You have been diagnosed to have enalrged prostate and have been taking Finasteride 5 mg since 2 years .

Recently you have been getting nocturnal frequency for urination (Nocturia).

Increase in nocturnal frequency strongly suggest increase in size of the prostate and need to be reevaluated


Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of Post Void Urine volume
3) Serum PSA.

Start taking Tomsulosin once daily .

Further as regards change in drugs or modality of treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
